Years ago I painted a vase in poster colours during my art workshop at Nirmal Studio. The vase in sparkling prussian blue with a golden rim sat quietly in the backdrop of scarlet drape. I framed it few days later and now it hangs in my drawing room. I never realized then I just sealed its destiny, stealing from it the very purpose it was created.

Whenever I look at the vase I think of all the possibilities if it weren’t a painted vase. Spring comes and goes but this vase will never hold flowers.

Sharing here my haiku that was published in the wonderful Autumn Moon Haiku Journal. I gave my vase an autumn moon haiku to hold…almost flowers!
